Chapter 52: Ikazuchi vs Yamigedo
"Master Kyoya!" Sophia yelled as Kyoya noticed a crack in the cocoon as Yamigedo has awoken in his new form, with his long neck, he was about to go devour Azi Dahaka.
"Y-Yamigedo is...!" Zanya asked.
"He's awakened!" Daisuke said.
"No! Everyone, get away from here!" Count Dawn advised for their safety. Then Yamigedo unleashes it attack by blasting onto Kyoya and Azi Dahaka, including Sophia but they managed to block it. However, Yamigedo continues to spread its attack, including the group. The attack ended as Yamigedo was fallen to slumber.
At the cocoon, where Yamigedo's evolved head still remains. Kyoya and Sophia managed to transported themselves to safety in the helicopter.
"Oh my, Kyoya." Elf said after seeing an unexpected surprise.
Kyoya snickered, "I never expected Azi Dahaka to be petrified as well. Can we control Yamigedo?" He asked.
"Yes. Right now, he's comatose. We've destroyed all the major structures in Yamigedo's brain. Yamigedo has truly become a living corpse." Elf explained the condition of what Yamigedo has become.
On the corpse of Yamigedo, there was tweak of electricity on its head as Ikazuchi was freed and fell into the threads. He was still unconscious as he begins to dream.
"Bolt!" His grandfather said, "Bolt! Answer the question!"
"I just need to defeat the monster using the Yamigedo Spirit Pacification Technique, right?" Bolt asked as he yawned.
"Wrong! This Spirit Pacification Technique is a temporary measure, to buy time. If the Omni Lords should fail to seal Yamigedo, there is one last hope." He explained, "A great power, sealed within the shrine."
Ikazuchi then woke up for remembering something in his memory.
"Wh-where am I?" He asked as he noticed Yamigedo's head was hanging on the cocoon who is a living corpse after the needle rockets used its power, "Who did this to Yamigedo?" Then he flew down as he saw the group, turned to stone, "What in the world happened?"
"It was all Yamigedo's doing." Tasuku said as he and Daisuke appeared.
"When he broke out of the cocoon, he spread his attack and turned everyone into stone, including our buddies." He explained.
"Tasuku Ryuenji! Daisuke Masamune! Why are you two the only ones unaffected?!" He asked.
"Jack saved me." Tasuku said after looking at Jack who is stoned.
"Ryuusei did the same, except that he pushed me in order to join up with Tasuku." Daisuke said as he looked at his buddy who is stoned.
"Yamigedo was cornered by Kyoya Gaen, and sent out a petrifying ray of light. In that instant, Jack sent us forward in time." Tasuku explained.
"It's my fault." Ikazuchi clenched his fist in frustration, "I've made the same mistake as before." He remembered something in his memory.
"A great power?" Bolt asked, "And if we use that, Yamigedo will return to nothingness?"
"That's the legend that every generation of our family has passed down." His father explained.
"Cool! How do you use it?"
"That's the problem..." His mother said, "Even we don't know."
"Huh?" Bolt is confused.
"To start with, they say that the great power is something that our ancestors received from the Omni Lords. But it's said that even the Omni Lords didn't know how to use it." She explained.
"What?" He was confused, "That doesn't make sense!" He said as his grandfather laughed.
"Well, for now, you should focus on remembering to do your daily training without slacking off."
"This again? Every time you get the chance, you tell me to do more training."
"Training means examining and judging what your true deity is."
"There's still a chance!" Ikazuchi realized something, "The great power might be able to save them!"
"Great power?" Tasuku asked.
"It's a chance to save everyone?" Daisuke asked.
"Yeah. The power to return Yamigedo to nothingness, handed down from Omni Lords. If we can use that power..." He explained the plan. At the cocoon, where Yamigedo's head is hanging. The cards appeared out as Hundred Demons are approaching.
"Hundred Demons detected. There's a whole lot of them!" Elf reported as they are heading towards Aibo Academy, "They've headed this way." Sophia then unleashed Disaster Force as she equipped her item.
"I'll take care of it. You work on controlling Yamigedo, quickly!" She said as she transported herself to take care of the situation.
"All right." Elf then starts on his tablet. Sophia transported herself outside as she begins to fight against the Hundred Demons. Then the other Hundred Demons are heading towards Ikazuchi, Tasuku and Daisuke. But then their Core Gadgets starts to activate.
Future Force
They turned into their Future Force as they equipped their items.
"Hey!" Ikazuchi yelled.
"We'll deal with these monsters. You need to hurry and go!" Daisuke said.
"Go get that great power you were talking about!" Tasuku said as they fly up to battle.
"What?!" He asked as Tasuku and Daisuke attacks them.
"What are you waiting for?!"
"Hurry!"
"Okay!" Ikazuch then went to the petrified Gao, "Gao Mikado. This time, I'll be the one to save you! Wait for me!" He pull out a card as he transported himself to get the great power. Meanwhile, Tasuku and Daisuke are fighting together as they kept on trying of destroying the Hundred Demons. While they are fighting, Suzaku came by as he witness the fight.
"They have no chance of winning, but they're trying so hard. How foolish." Suzaku admits as he felt something in his hand, "It was foolish." He then remembered something, "Wh-what was that?!"
Ikazuchi transported himself in a hidden cave as he was near a big boulder, he then saw the door that was in his memory. He then walks towards it as he plans on opening it but when he pushed it, it didn't budged.
"It's no good. What should I do?" He asked himself as he noticed the keyholes on the door that it look like holes. He looked at his hand as he noticed the similarities, "Could it be? All right! I'll give it a try!" He then placed his hands in the hole as he tries to pull it to open as he twisted, unlocking the door, "It opened." He opened as it shines in bright light.
Back at the Aibo Academy. Tasuku and Daisuke landed down as they started to get exhausted from the fight.
"There's too many of them! We won't be able to handle all of this!" Daisuke said.
"We need to keep trying! We got to buy Ikazuchi more time until he gets the great power!" Tasuku said as they noticed something flashing as Ikazuchi appeared. The flashes of light, returns the Hundred Demons back into cards again. It then shock Suzaku in great pain in his head. He started crying as he started to remember something.
In the flow of time, Variable Cord was flowing in the time stream with his Dragonarms crossnized. He went to the past as he begins to battle the Hundred Demons as he destroyed them all, leaving Yamigedo remaining. Variable Cord then makes his attack as Yamigedo begins his attack to devour Variable Cord.
Later, after the battle against Yamigedo, Variable Cord was drifting in space.
'That's right. I had been grievously wounded, and Armordeity Dynamis saved me.' He said as Dynamis appeared near the unconscious and damaged Variable Cord, "And I entrusted her to gather warriors from different worlds, in order to battle Yamigedo once more.'
"The one who started this fight... Is me!" Suzaku realized the truth.
"What is that strange power?" Sophia asked after witnessing Ikazuchi's power.
"We're ready and standing by!" Elf reported.
"Yes!"
Then all of sudden, the Omni Lords who were turned to stone, have somehow turned to sparkle as they all are gathered around Ikazuchi.
"So this is the great power." Ikazuchi said as he held the card in his hand.
"The Omni Lords managed to got out." Daisuke said.
"Everyone! Can you try sealing Yamigedo one more time?" Tasuku requested.
"That's impossible." Ziun said.
"Because Yamigedo's light shone on us, the best we can do is maintain this form." Count Dawn said.
"It's unfortunate, but it's not possible for us to create the sealing formation." Miserea said.
"Sorry..." Drum apologized.
"So they can't seal Yamigedo in their condition." Daisuke said.
"As we feared. There's nothing we can do." Tasuku said as he clenched his fist in frustration.
"Tasuku..."
"Well, let's get started!" Elf said as the helicopter approaches to Yamigedo's corpse, "Kyoya, are you ready?" He asked.
"Yeah. I'll directly send the maximum level of Disaster Force into Yamigedo." Kyoya said as he transported himself, descending down to the top of the cocoon. He then strike the top with his item as he activated his Disaster Force, "Disaster Force, full blast!" He used his Disaster Force as it connects the energy to the needle rockets that were still pinned to the cocoon, "Finally, it's mine. The massive power of Yamigedo, who can devour even the universe itself!""
"This is unbelievable!" Elf looked at the status on the tablet, "The destroyed parts of the brain are being regenerated! This is bad. At this rate, Yamigedo will wake up!" Kyoya then continues sending the Disaster Force to the needle rockets but then it starts to get it absorbing.
"So it's trying to absorb my Disaster Force, too?" Kyoya asked as the needle rockets are starting to get absorbed into the cocoon.
"Master Kyoya!" Sophia flies down to help her master, "You should retreat for now." She pulls out the card to transport them back.
"Accursed Yamigedo!" Kyoya said as they escaped but Kyoya left his item as it gets absorbed into the cocoon. The cocoon then begins to open.
"So this is what happens, in the end." Suzaku said after seeing the cocoon hatching. He closed his fan, "I thought that Kyoya would be able to control Yamigedo, but he's only human. It seems that nobody can stop this monster." He said as many heads of Yamigedo bursting out of the cocoon as the head that was fallen was awakened once again. Yamigedo has evolved as he has many heads on the head, he has many tails as he roared in a blast of wave.
"Is that Yamigedo?!" Ikazuchi asked after seeing his evolution.
"He's evolved again!" Daisuke said.
"So that's his final form!" Tasuku said. Then on the evolved Yamigedo. A creature like Yamigedo appears out of it, "What is that?!" He asked.
"Is that another one?!" Daisuke asked.
"Could it be? He absorbed the Inverse Omni Lords..." Ikazuchi predicted.
"And by absorbing my Disaster Force, he's created his own Buddy, Ikazuchi!" Kyoya said as they saw the form of Ikazuchi and Yamigedo merged as one with the Dark Core on his forehead.
"That's a copy of me." Ikazuchi said as it surprised Tasuku and Daisuke a bit, "When I defeat him, I can go back to being Bolt Fuchigami."
"Ikazuchi." Tasuku said.
"He really has changed." Daisuke said as he smiled. Then Ikazuchi's Core Gadget came out as it wanted to help.
"So you want to fight your copy too?" He asked as he smirked, "I owe you one, Yamigedo!"
"It's nice to have a buddy, even if it's Yamigedo." Drum said as he comes close to them, "All right, I've made up my mind! I'm going to join your deck!"
"That's an excellent plan!" Ziun agrees.
"Count me in!" Burn Nova agrees, "I'll share your fate, whatever it might be!"
"I concur. What does everyone else think?" Miserea asked.
"It seems ironic to join the deck of one that opposed us not long ago..." Count Dawn said.
"But if this is fate, I'll accompany you as well!" Mukuro said.
"I guess it can't be helped." Count Dawn said as all Omni Lords joined together as they went into the Core Gadget.
"Thank you, Omni Lords, for believing in someone like me!" Ikazuchi thanked as he cried.
"And now from on, we'll support you in any way we can." Tasuku said, "Right, Daisuke?"
"I guess. Just as long as we can do everything we can to help." Daisuke said as Tasuku nodded.
"Thank you!" Then they flew up to Ikazuchi's copy, "Fight me!" He demanded, "I'll return you to nothingness!"
"I'm looking forward to it. Become one with me, body and mind, and live together with me! I devour everything, and I will use all Hundred Demons!" Ikazuchi-Yamigedo said as many Hundred Demons are coming together on his hands, "I will face you with a Hundred Card Deck made of one hundred cards!"
"A Hundred Card Deck?!" Sophia asked
"That's twice the size of a normal deck." Kyoya said as he was surprised.
"Why does he want to use one hundred cards?" Tasuku wondered.
"The limit for the deck is only 50 or less! What is he trying to do?" Daisuke asked as Paruko flew over to the Aibo Academy.
"Wh-wh-wh-what's this?!" Paruko asked as she sees Yamigedo's evolved form, "Yamigedo has evolved into something even creepier!" Then Takosuke came out.
"Takochu! Takochu!" He said.
"What? The fabric of time-space is warping?!" Paruko translated as Yamigedo begins to create a portal through time.
"What is that?!" Ikazuchi asked.
"It's a gate to the distant future!" Tasuku recognized.
"Yamigedo has that kind of power?!" Daisuke asked as Yamigedo went in.
"I won't let him get away!" Ikazuchi decides to follow him.
"Wait! Ikazuchi! You won't be able to return!" Tasuku yelled as the portal closed.
"Where has he gone?" Kyoya asked.
"Probably the distant future." Elf assumed, "We can't do a thing now."
Tasuku and Daisuke were staying after the portal closed.
"Ikazuchi..." Tasuku said.
"Don't worry, Tasuku. He'll make it. Since he's got the Omni Lords on his side now." Daisuke said.
"Yeah." Tasuku nodded.
At the future, the portal opened as Yamigedo appears as it landed to the surface. The three kids were on the roof as they saw Yamigedo as it was at near the arena that looks similar to the Darkness Barrier. Paruko came by as she was in the future again.
"Even in the far-flung future, wherever there are Buddyfights, you'll find Paruko Nanana! It's the fight of the century, with humanity's future at stake! I have no way of knowing whether this broadcast is reaching you all at home, but... even so, I won't stop my commentary!"
"Ikazuchi. Here, nobody can interfere with us. I'll fight you until we're both satisfied." Ikazuchi-Yamigedo said.
"I'll be the one to defeat you! Hundred Demons lurking the darkness! Destroy and rampage! Devour them all! Dark Luminize! Hundred Thunder Demons!"
"Humans... Monsters... Stars... Worlds... Devouring everything in the universe! Dark Luminize! Hundred Yamigedo!"
"Buddyfight!"
"Raise the Flag!"
"Parade of Hundred Demons!"
"Parade of Hundred Demons!"
(I: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
(I-Y: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
Back at the present time. Tasuku and Daisuke were watching the match on the phone.
"First move goes to Ikazuchi! In this devastated future world with no spectators to watch the battle, a fight to determine humanity's survival has begun!" Paruko announced.
"As I feared."
"What is?" Daisuke asked.
"They're in that future world!"
"If that's the case then it looks like it'll be bad for Ikazuchi." Daisuke said.
Back at the future...
"Charge and Draw! I set the spell, Starved Yamigedo! I'll use you, thanks!" Ikazuchi said to the card he held, "I call to the center! Second Omni Demon Lord, Asmodai!" He paid 2 gauge as he called him out.
"I'm happy that I'm first at bat!" Asmodai said.
"Asmodai! Attack the fighter!"
"Okay!" He double kicked at Ikazuchi-Yamigedo, "Devil Drop Kick!" He inflicted 3 damage.
The Move End
(I: 10/ Item: None/ G: 1: None/Asmodai/None)
(I-Y: 7/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
"A-A-Amazing! It's one of the Omni Lords, Second Omni Demon Lord, Asmodai! Why is he in Ikazuchi's deck?!" Paruko announced.
"Like they say, yesterday's enemy is today's ally." Asmodai quoted as he pointed to Ikazuchi.
"Omni Lords are no threat to me! Draw! Charge and Draw! I call Apparition Demon Knight, Lasty to the left! Ice Prison Emperor, Cocytus Greed to the right! Black Dragon Befreien to the center!" He call out three monsters simultaneously.
"He's lined up three monsters, all at once!" Paruko announced, "Furthermore, Cocytus Greed has the ability to decrease the enemy's gauge and increase the player's gauge by 1!" The gauge from Ikazuchi has been sent to Ikazuchi-Yamigedo's gauge.
"Oh my Devil!" Asmodai yelled, "If we don't have enough gauge, I can't use my ability!"
"Black Dragon Befreien! Devour Asmodai!" He said as he activats Befreien's ability.
"Befreien has the ability to destroy any monster, even if it has 10000 defense!" Paruko announced as Befreien launches its fire blast from its chest, "Second Omni Demon Lord, Asmodai has a Lifelink of 2!"
"Damn!" Asmodai got destroyed as Ikazuchi takes 2 damage.
"I won't go down without a fight!" He said.
"Due to Starved Yamigedo's effect, his gauge increases!" Paruko announced as Ikazuchi's gauge increased.
"Lasty! Cocytus Greed! Devour Ikazuchi!" Lasty attacks Ikazuchi, inflicting 1 damage. Then Cocytus Greed attacks using ice attack, inflicting 2 damage at Ikazuchi.
The Move End
(I: 5/ Item: None/ G: 1: None/None/None)
(I-Y: 7/ Item: None/ G: 4: Lasty/Befreien/Cocytus)
"You cannot defeat me with mere Omni Lords." Ikazuchi-Yamigedo said.
"Ikazuchi has been brought down to 5 life. How is he going to counterattack now?!" Paruko announced.
"I'm going to defeat you, for certain! I call to the center! Blowout Emperor, Las Volganon! I'm going to get everything back! I call to the left! Seventh Omni Earth Lord, Count Dawn!" He calls out Count Dawn.
"Even if my body turns to dust, we will be victorious in this fight!" Count Dawn said.
"As Bolt Fuchigami! I call to the right! Fifth Omni Dragon Lord, Drum!" He paid one gauge as he called out Drum.
"We have to save everyone, after all!" Drum said.
"We have Omni Lords and Hundred Demons all lined up! These former enemies are going to fight side by side, thanks to Ikazuchi!" Paruko announced.
"I'm going to equip this! As for you, I will defeat you, along with Yamigedo!" He equipped his item, "I equip! Thunder Claw Narukami! I cast! Hundred Demons' Tome of Judgement!" He cast as he drew 3 cards, "I got it! The power to return Yamigedo to nothingness! But I don't know whether this power will be effective against him right now. I don't even know how to use this power! But I want to return everyone to normal! I want to defeat him. And I want to Buddyfight with Gao Mikado one more time! Count Dawn! Attack Black Dragon Befreien!"
"Diliculum!" Count Dawn sends his attack.
"I cast! Hundred Demons Sorcery, Ryubokushihai!" He cast as Count Dawn was destroyed in the mist.
"I've failed!"
"My life increases by 1." He regained his life.
"However! Ikazuchi also increases his gauge by 1 due to Starved Yamigedo's effect!" Paruko announced as Ikazuchi increased his gauge.
"Blowout Emperor, Las Volganon! Attack Black Dragon Befreien!" Volganon used his tri cannon attack as it hits Befreien and destroys him, "Las Volganon! Become fodder for Narukami!" He sacrifice Volganon to increase Narukami's critical but he lose one life due to Lifelink, "Now my Narukami has a critical of 3!"
"Ikazuchi receives damage due to Lifelink, so that means that Fifth Omni Dragon Lord, Drum's ability will activate!" Paruko announced as Drum activates his ability.
"If you want to devour the world so badly. I'll give you something special! Take this! Dragon Lord Concussion Slash!" He blasted it at Cocytus Greed as he destroys him. Then Ikazuchi-Yamigedo takes one damage due to Lifelink, "Well? How do you like it?"
"Curse you!"
"Due to Cocytus Greed's Lifelink, he takes 1 damage! And he goes forward with an attack!" Paruko announced as Drum attacks.
"Roaring Slash! Drum Saber!" He inflicted 3 damage. Then Ikazuchi attacks with Narukami.
"I cast! Hundred Demons Sorcery, Yamitagae!" He cast as the dark barrier nullified the attack.
Back at the present time, in the helicopter...
"What? Earth's petrification is continuing?" Kyoya asked as he noticed the status on the tablet.
"But Yamigedo's in the distant future right now!" Sophia said.
"That's right. But the threads that Yamigedo left behind are continuing to turn Earth to stone." Elf explained the situation.
"Ikazuchi has Fifth Omni Dragon Lord, Drum destroyed by Lion Drake's Double Attack!" Paruko announced as Ikazuchi was attacked in the Link Attack, and was inflicted with 2 damage.
The Move End
(I: 2/ Item: Narukami/ G: 5: None/None/None)
(I-Y: 4/ Item: None/ G: 4: Lasty/Daygala/Lion Drake)
"Ikazuchi, it's Your Move!" Paruko announced.
"I pay 1 life to return Seventh Omni Earth Lord, Count Dawn from the Drop Zone to the left!" He pay one life as he brought him back.
"The Twilight Returner!"
"Draw! Charge and Draw! I call to the right! Demonic Descend Ninja, Zeon!" He paid one gauge to bring him out. He then activate Zeon's ability to bring Peluda to the center.
"Ikazuchi has gotten his monsters all in a row!" Paruko announced.
"Devour Zeon and Peluda! I Buddycall to the right!" He Buddycalled as the Yamigedo creature devoured Zeon and Peluda as it transforms, "Most powerful demon beast starved for destruction! Devour the Hundred Demons and show yourself! Great Fiend! Yamigedo! I regain one life due to Buddy Gift!" He regained one life.
"Finally, Ikazuchi's buddy, Yamigedo makes an appearance!" Paruko announced.
"Count Dawn and Yamigedo, do a Link Attack on Bronze Dragon, Daygala in the center!"
"To think that I'm doing a Link Attack with Yamigedo, of all monsters..." Count Dawn said as he joins together with Yamigedo to attack.
"I cast! Hundred Demons Sorcery, Yamitagae!"
"What?!" The dark barrier protected Daygala as the attack fails.
"Yamgiedo's Thunder Mind, activate!" Ikazuchi-Yamigedo felt for the trap as the Yamigedo creature shocks him, inflicting one damage
"This Thunder Mind activates when an attack is neutralized! And there's still a Double Attack coming up!" Paruko announced.
"My Narukami and Yamigedo together! Link Attack!" They joined together as Ikazuchi sliced off Daygala and Yamigedo crushes it with his claw.
"Due to Daygala's Lifelink, he takes 2 damage!" Paruko announced as Ikazuchi-Yamigedo takes 2 damage.
"I didn't expect you to drive me into a corner like this. But now that I have evolved, my defeat is impossible." He said.
"I shall show you!" He Draw and Charge and Draw, "I cast! Hundred Demons Sorcery Death Sacrifice! I destroy all of the monsters in my fields!" Lion Drake and Lasty got destroyed, "And I draw a card for every monster I destroyed!" He drew 2 cards.
"That beast. He's plotting something." Count Dawn said as Ikazuchi-Yamigedo snickered.
"Finally, I have them all in my hand." He said as it surprised Ikazuchi.
"Here it comes!"
"My true form!" He pulls one card from his hand, "Devour the heaven and earth, and appear!" He brings the second card, "I Buddycall to the center!" He pays 3 gauge, "Evil Deity of Cataclysm!" He combine the two cards to one as it reveals Yamigedo's final evolution and regains one life due to Buddy Gift, "Hyakugan Yamigedo!" Hyakugan Yamigedo was on the center as it reaches to the arena.
Spotlight shown as Daisuke appears on stage.
"Welcome back to more Corner Time. As you can see Yamigedo's final evolution has been called. This could be bad for Ikazuchi. The next chapter will be about the final battle for Gao if we can get him out of being stoned. Give me a review of what you think and give me good Photonic ideas please. Til then bye for now." He bowed as the screen faded black.
